The Graduate School (or Institute) of Social Sciences of the Ankara University offers postgraduate education in the field of law.

Teaching language is Turkish.

Usually no tuition fees apply.

Post graduate (LLM/PhD) law courses have been handled by the relevant department (Public or Private Law) of the Graduate School and lectures have been delivered by the academic staff of the Faculty of Law in Turkish. Guest lecturers are seldom received.

Admission of students for post-graduate legal studies is done by the Graduate School of Social Sciences after having succeeded the centralized examination called Postgraduate Study Entrance Exam (the ALES) performed by the same central body, if it is necessary.

Candidates may apply the Graduate School of Social Sciences for a post graduate legal study (LLM or PhD) either in Public Law or Private Law. The sections of Public Law and Private Law are legally considered also “the departments” of the Graduate School. So, the oral exam and other evaluations for attendance are performed by the Private and Public Law sections of the Faculty of Law. In the process of evaluation, a certain percentage of the marks obtained in the ALES, the faculty graduation average, the foreign language mark and the oral exam are considered to find out the overall mark of the candidate who wishes to attend the postgraduate study in the Ankara University.

LLM is a 2 years program consisting of periods of 1 year course and thesis. Both periods may be extended.
